they found that they were hemmed in ON all

wooden building with incredible rapidity,
how they struggled to flee will never be

The sloop yacht Wave of New York, with
party of New York gentlemen on board,
caught fire Monday afternoon during the

One of the gentlemen was badly hurt The
fire spread SO rapidly that the yachtsmen,
with two sailors, had barely time to take to
the gig. The waves were running very high
but, fortunately the schooner Lydia Christine

was uninsured. The yachtsmen had over
$1,000 worth of personal effects, and only
saved $500 worth.

Iron Houses.

At the recent Liverpool exhibition
some pretty examples of iron houses,
choicely furnished, were exhibited by an
English firm of iron workers, one being
a tropical villa. The building itself was
of wrought iron, and no masonry
foundation was required for the
column and main supports, which had
self-fxing bases. The interior was of
pine and redwood The house was Sc

TuusDAY. DECEMBER %


The question Of having a centennial
celebration for the West has been con
siderably discussed, and it recalls some
interesting reminiscenles.
More than half a century ago The
adventurous spirits Of Virginia and other
Eastern States used to seek their fortunes
in the West. They had to get there In
stages, wagons, or on horseback.
Chicago was a trading post, and Mil
waukee, Green Bay, and many other
points, afterwards the sites and cities,
had only a name and a few cabins.
Detroit was the principal point in the
West, as it had been the Oldest French
trading post, established by the "Voy-
ageurs."
The "Ordnance for the government
Of the Northwest Territory was passed
by Congress a hundred years ago, and
that is the date that the West could APP
propriately celebrate with q centennial.
The vast territory from PittsbIrg west
land had been partly taken by pioneers
from the States. The conquest by
General Clark with II handful of Virginia
rangers was the most noticeable event in
the history Of the West, and consequent
ly when the territory was coded to the
Federal Government Nirginia's gift was
the greatest of all. The ordnance for
the government of the territory made
provision for the formation Of States
and perhaps the most interesting feature
Of it to the modern student is the follow
ing
There shall be neither slavery nor IT.
voluntary seryitude in the said Territory,
otherwise than in the punishment of
crimes whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted provided, always, that
any person escaping into the same, from
whom labor or service is lawfully claimed
in any one Of the original States, such
fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed, and
conveyed to the person claiming his or
her labor or service as aforesaid"
Ii is claimed that Marietta in Ohio vas
the first town built in the Northwest and
there the first centennial Of the West will
be celebrated next spring by Ohio.

4 MODEL CHRISTMAS.

Richmond is prominently a genial
and bospitable city, and its people love
to open their doors for a neigbborly ex-
change Of couricsics. On Sunday a per-
feet and serene quiet prevailed, but when
Monday dawned the small boys were
quick to assert all the privileges Of
the day, and business was entirely sus-
pended.
Yet with all the noise and hilarity
there was a tone Of decorum and good
nature, and the festive day passed
pleasantly without being marred by any
disagreeable scenes, and only one ugly
accident happened.
All the editors and reporters, clerks
and printers Of the TINES were punctual-
ly at their posts in the afternoon, and,
excepting the lack Of general news,
owing to the Observance of tn day, the
work, went on as usual. The TINES
neighborhood has become the liyeliest
one in the city, and as the twi-
light settled down the rockets and
crackers began and continued to light the
square from Ninth TO Eighth streets un-
til late in the night.

1.-THE TRUST

The grand combination OF manufac-
turers known as the Trust" is The final
triumph Of high protection In the policy
of controlling the home market. y
Western man has studied out the effect
proposed by the Trust and 1t appears
in the light Of his explanation that The
organization can accomplish great re
suits in raising the prices OF the manu-
featured product but the combination
also has another line Of policy which
aims at cheap labor by agreeing among
all the manufacturers Of a certain article
20 give only a certain rate Of wages, and
the consequence IS that the high pro
teciionist finds himself absolutely self
con,radictcd when he cries aloud about
protecting American labor.
Itisdoubtless a misfortune that the PEG
pie should be thus clamped in the grip Of
the monopolis,s with an additional turn Of
The wise. but by the inscrutable wisdom
of Providence there is a way j. which
gross abuses bring about The remedy, and
the Trust" is an abuse so very plain to
see that II will point the Presidents mes
sage with a shining illustration Of the
wrongs that are cited in that paper.
The wayfaring man ought 10 be able
to understand that the great combina-
ton by manufacturers which fixes
and lowers wages, is in two directions
the result of a system Of laws that Kill
competition in labor and in the market.
Now what labor wants, and what the
consumer wants, is fair competition and
a plenty of il.

The general impression Is that the
year Is closing with a good account OF
improvement In business. 1t was the
policy of the Republicans to foster the
idea that the Democratic Administration
would ruin the country by causing gen
eral mistrust in the financial policy OF
the party.
1t is quite safe to say that the "busi-
ness interests" feel more confidence in
the present Administration than in any
promises made by the Republicans.
Popular confidence in the party in
power has had much to do with tho i'm
proyement in business, and the policy
laid down by the President certainly in
dicates a more solid basis for all our al
fairs than has been seen since the close
OF the war. We therefore look to see
1888 a prosperous year.

The European correspondents seem to
agree that the Car is under the influence
of the party which favors war and that az
soon as the spring opens Russia will
make a hostile movement against Austria
which will involve other countries in a
gigantic struggle.
1t is quite certain that such a war in
Europe would for a time benefit this
country In furnishing a war market for
our products, but in the long run the
best thing for the United States would
be perfect peace all over the world, and
a fair chance to rival other nations in
general manufactures.
The report of war has its source in the
same old persistent idea of Russia to
extend her influence to Constan tinople
the plea now being that Austria must not
control the affairs Of Bulgaria.

ward towards the %long-coyeted point that
has traditionally been the object Of
Russia's ambition.

An international Dollar.

Diaz administration, In discussing the
plan for an international dollar, TO circu-
late in the United States aud Mexico, ad-
yocates the scheme and intimaics that this
would lead to q further identification of
the interests OF Mexico and the northern
republic, and would tend 90 obiiterate the
frontiers as FAR as regards commercial
transactions. This points 10 n CONNER
cial union as well, and the article is re-
earded as very significant OF the good feel
ing Of the administration toward the
United States. The question Is likely To
be much discussed now by the Mexican
press. The advocacy Of a common dollar

The trial trip Of the cruiser Chicago is
reported as satisfactory, the ship show
ing hat she could steam sixteen knots an
hour. After all the farces and jobs in
the construction Of ships for the navy, it
is gratifying to hear that the result in this
case is not like that with the Dolphin and
other vessels made by contract.
The Chicago is TO have as powerful a
battery as almost any vessel of her size
carries. This will consist Of four S-inch
high-power riled breech-loaders, six
6-inch and two 5-inch, besides her Hotch-
kiss cannon. Her guns will be so mount
ed as TO avoid the complaints of interfer-
ence in simultaneous firing made against
the Atlanta and Boston, and she will
probably be better able to carry and use
her full battery than those vessels.

George Stephenson, England's great
engineer, began his experiences as an in
ventor with the perpetual motion problem,
for which he constructed a machine. His
biographer describes IL as consisting OF d
wooden wheel, the periphery Of which
was furnished with glass tubes filled with
quicksilver; and as the wheel rotated, the
quicksilver poured itself down into the
lower tubes, and thus a sort Of self acting
motion was kept up in the apparatus,
which, however, did not prove 10 be per-
